GULF OF MEXICO 



473 



Terebra iaurinum Humphrey. (W) 

 Anadara baughmani Hertlein. (G) 

 Aequipecten glyplus Verrill. (C) 

 i4 must WTO papyraceum Gabb. (W) 

 Pilar cordala Sehwengel. (G) 



(W) Also known from the West Indies. 



(G) Known only or almost solely from the Gulf of 

 Mexico. 



(C) Found also in the Atlantic off the south- 

 eastern United States. 



In this brief survey of our present-day knowl- 

 edge of the moUusks of the Gulf of Mexico I have 

 attempted to Hst some of the conspicuous species 

 found in the various parts of the Gulf and have 

 pointed out how little we actually know of the 

 mollusks. There has lately, however, been an 

 increase in interest in this region, and we can 

 look forward to valuable contributions on this 

 subject in the not too distant future.
